Coaching and Mentoring

Executive Coaching and Mentoring:

At The Centre, we work with top teams, senior and middle managers. Using 3-way meetings with line managers and feedback processes we ensure coaching contracts meet business needs. Working across hierarchies within a business enables us to support the organisation to create systemic as well as individual change.

Working one to one enables individual development needs to be addressed. Coaching is a confidential process which is focussed on the individual client meeting agreed business goals and development needs.

"I wanted to let you know that Tom's mentoring session has been very successful and we are seeing really positive progress in the working replationships involved with positive knock on effects to the organsiation as a whole. The confidentiality boundaries are being respected and no-one knows what took place other than the participants . The rest of us suspect some kind of magic was involved!" Dave Duggan Chair of the Board Local Charity

Talent development:

Increasingly companies recognise that their people are key to keeping that competitive edge Talent development encompasses a variety of components such as training, career development, career management, and organisational development. Coaching and in-house leadership programmes enable businesses to tailor development to their unique opportunities and challenges.

These common changes involve many personal challenges for the individual manager, particularly if senior and accustomed to power. Our work explores the often hidden ambitions which people can mobilise for, the opportunities and challenges outside the organisation, the heritage which the manager leaves, and the effects on those left behind.

Leadership Development:

Bespoke leadership development progammes for organisations wanting to harness the potential of their managers are designed to meet unique business needs. We interweave core learning days, action learning and coaching to ensure that systemic and individual needs can both be met. We design 360 leadership profiling using existing leadership behaviours and competencies to enable managers to get live feedback on their strengths and development areas.

Mediation:

Conflicts can develop in teams and between teams often through poor communication, ignoring emotional energy and lack of attention to managing differences. At The Centre we use mediation to bring together conflicted parties and provide them with a safe, respectful and enjoyable process which enables all parties to feel heard and enables a negotiated contract for moving forward.
